REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 5. 1111706 STAFF REPORT Report Number: 95-1542ws , ArTFANnA SESSION n ATEReport Date: � - December 4. 1995 11-30-95 DISPOSITION Item Description: Continued Discussion Regarding Redevelopment of Highway 10 Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report 42411 - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The closing of 2625 Highway 10, scheduled for November 27, 1995, was delayed due to the results of the environmental report performed by AA Environmental in Blaine. The environmental report noted concerns with dumping piles, deposits of car batteries, antifreeze and mounds of an unknown nature on the property or adjacent properties. Upon discussion with the property owner he feels the areas in question are not on his property but rather on the adjacent property to the north-west. Therefore, we requested that he have the property staked to identify the actual location of the debris. After the property is staked, at the owners expense, AA Environmental will reevaluate if the debris is located within the property lines. In light of the report completed by AA Environmental, I contacted three other environmental companies for quotes on Phase II environmental services. All three companies felt the report was not industry standard Phase I material and that the information was too vague to substantiate the need for a Phase II study which would be both lengthy and costly. Each company suggested either performing a standard Phase I or address the issues presented in the report with more thorough evaluation and soil samples. I discussed this matter with Larry Wertheim of Kennedy 8t Graven and he suggested, at a minimum, addressing the areas in question. This can be reevaluated once we determine if the debris is encroaching on the property. 6 Cathy Bennedconomic Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION•
